SLIPPED AWAY

I can't believe I missed it

I didn't even see

You slipped right through my fingers

And now you're far from me

Where once was your voice

Now an echo rules supreme

And I wish I could wake myself

From this awful, painful dream

How could you fall from me

And me not even notice

I guess I was distracted

And must have lost my focus

Where once was your voice

Now an echo rules supreme

And I wish I could wake myself

From this awful, painful dream

All I have and ever wanted

Was all wrapped up in you

Now I'm just lost

And don't know what to do

Where once was your voice

Now an echo rules supreme

And I wish I could wake myself

From this awful, painful dream

I guess I'm hoping you will read this

And hear how bad I'm hurting

Perhaps you would take pity

And stop killing me by deserting

You must know anything I have

I would still burn at your feet

If only for a chance

To have you back with me.
